40 Days for Life Podcast

Abortion supporters seem almost desperate to find a woman who has died as a result of pro-life legislation. But even though about half of the states have implemented pro-life laws since Roe v. Wade was toppled, nobody has shown that any women have died because they couldn't get abortions.  Recently, ProPublica published an article claiming that the number of women who have died following ectopic pregnancies doubled from 2020-2025 compared with the previous six-year period. Are pro-life laws to blame? We answer that question on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast. 

She told her children, "Go to God, baby," as she strangled them. Now some people are hailing Lindsay Clancy as a hero. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take on the Lindsay Clancy trial and the culture that turned a mother who killed her kids into a cause.

Many abortion advocates don't support abortion all nine months of pregnancy…just until viability. But what is viability? How has it changed? And why does viability even matter in the abortion debate? We answer those questions--and more--on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.

We talk a lot about empowering women not to have abortions. How do we respond with mercy when they go through with it anyway? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we talk about how to help heal the mothers, fathers, grandparents, and siblings who carry the trauma of abortion.

Pro-lifers have long described abortion as a "sacrament" for the left. Is this just a clever insult? One self-guided abortion website gives step-by-step instructions for building an altar, burning incense and praying to the baby about to be killed. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we explain why abortion is an inherently religious form of human sacrifice.

Elections have consequences--including for those who don't get a vote. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we count down the five most influential elections in pro-life history.

In one of history's greatest pro-life victories, Planned Parenthood was defunded on July 4, 2025. Over the next year, dozens of abortion facilities and referral centers closed their doors.  But Congress didn't get around to extending the defunding in 2026, and the abortion giant is now eligible to receive hundreds of millions of your tax dollars in the year ahead. This is a terrible development for abortion-vulnerable moms and babies.  But in many ways, the one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood continues to bear fruit. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the silver--or at least aluminum--linings of Congress's failure to defund America's leading abortion chain again.

Banter about Steve's suspension from the podcast and college football talk ends at 16:26. The last five years have been the greatest in the history of the pro-life movement. Roe v. Wade is gone, and the backlash has receded. Countless abortion facilities have gone out of business. Planned Parenthood was defunded for a year. Lifesaving 40 Days for Life vigils have spread around the world. The LGBTQ movement and woke jumped the shark. Progressives found out that rabid support for abortion doesn't win elections anymore. The weaponization of law enforcement came to an abrupt end. So why are so many pro-lifers and conservatives so depressed? We respond to the pro-life malaise on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.

Dr. Haywood Robinson moonlighted as an abortionist...until a radical conversion to Christianity led him to spend the last 40 years of his life serving in the pro-life movement.  Haywood died on July 24, 2026. We share our favorite memories of Haywood on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.

An unplanned pregnancy can create legitimate fear amid difficult circumstances... ...but an unexpected pregnancy does not mean an unwanted child. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss the inherent value of both mother and child and how to provide meaningful support during and after a crisis pregnancy.
